Fall 2008 anime reviews:
ToraDora!
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Review: Takasu lives alone with his beautiful but undependable
mother. His father who isn’t around was a weird bad-ass looking yakuza.
It’s because of his genes that Takasu-kun always looks evil and is always
feared and mistaken for a delinquent, when in reality he is a caring guy
who has to take care of his household on his own. On his first day in a
new class he bumps into Taiga, a very small but pretty easily aggravated
girl, often called palmtop-tiger, and gets punched in the face. At least
all the misunderstandings about his personality are cleared now very early.
He later finds out she actually lives in a big apartment just beside his
small house. He also finds out they both are in love with each other’s
best friends, and so they agree to help each other, which turns out to
be not as easy as they think.
Toradora is one of the more deep school comedy romances. The protagonists
are interesting and there’s lots of character development while the comedy
does not fall short in any way. It’s a story about how, unlike their outer
appearances and first impressions, people can be so beautiful once you
get to know them better and spend time with them. A show not only about
love and comedy, but also about prejudice, misunderstandings, false rumors,
psychology and friendship. The animation quality is more than acceptable,
and from what I’ve read in the manga, the story is really going somewhere.
However, the anime rushed the happenings of the manga (which also rushed
the story of the original series of novells already) at a few rather important
scenes and failed to convey their meanings fittingly. But someone not familiar
with the novell nor manga will maybe not notice anything about that.
Rating: 9/10
Hyakko
Genre: School, Comedy
Review: Ayumi recently transferred to Kamizono School as a high
school freshman. Kamizono is a large school attended by more than 3000
students from elementary to high school. Ayumi is a rather silent girl
who has problems speaking up her mind. She is determined to change, but
still has problems doing so. On this big school ground she gets lost, but
soon meets 3 other girls who share her fate and possess very different
personalities. They soon become friends; but will they be able to help
each other, or only get into more trouble.
Hyakko is a very funny school comedy show with girls as main characters.
It’s one of many shows recently with little story but enjoyable character
and lots of comedy. Definitely worth watching for anyone who loves school
comedy without any romance.
Rating: 7,5/10
Kemeko DX!
Genre: Shounen, Comedy, Romance
Review: Sanpeita-kun’s mother is always busily working as an
artist at home; that’s why his little sister has to take care of the household.
Their father might be gone, but they still do their best to get by. However,
suddenly Kemeko appears in Sanpeita-kun’s life crashing into his room with
a giant rocket, announcing to marry him. Kemeko seems to be a rather weird
and ugly fighting android who protects Sanpeita from other fighting robots
who attack him for no particular reason. The beautiful girl inside Kemeko
reminds him of his childhood sweetheart, but that is little consolidation
for all the trouble she causes.
This anime is a rather well done adaptation of the Kemeko-DX manga.
The brilliant animation quality enables an adequate presentation of all
those funny jokes and ridiculous situations. There obviously is a developing
story with questions and secrets to be uncovered, but you shouldn’t hope
for a deep and original story too much. Most of all this show is about
comedy with a touch of romance, action and harem maybe.
Rating: 8,5/10
To Aru Majutsu no Index
Genre: Action, Comedy, Sci-fi
Review: Kamijyo Touma lives in the Academy City, a special advanced
city cramped with all sorts of schools and mostly populated by students.
Through scientific means, students there are able to obtain and train their
special superhuman esper-abilities. Touma seems to have no talent whatsoever
as an esper, but in a fight he realizes his right hand can nullify any
kind of esper attack. It’s a very rare ability, but maybe his hands repelling
all good luck is the reason he always gets himself into trouble. Just recently
he found a strange girl called Index sleeping on his balcony; and that’s
where the real trouble starts.
The animation quality is pretty good and similar to Shakugan no Shana.
The story is set in an interesting near future Japan I think. As the plot
goes on more and more shocking truths are uncovered and it never leaves
you bored. Shakugan no Shana fans and anime fans who like sci-fi and action
should definitely give this series a try.
Rating: 8,5/10
